Some time off

I had 2 weeks of time off after a long time without one.

The bad

We caught a cold on the plane and we were basically sick the whole time. Because we are in extreme saving mode we didn't go anywhere (even if we were not sick).

So basically we stayed at a tiny house, with no wifi, watching morning shows like "Live Kelly and Mark", "The Price Is Right" and similar shows.

The good

• The house has a big backyard and the weather was nice, so I was playing with the family all day long; blowing bubbles, hide and seek, tag. Having picnics.

• We had free meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner cooked for us). No house cleaning. Also due to the time zone difference we were all going to sleep at 5 pm and with absolutely no rush to wake up.

• Tech detox. Although I found my way into using Gemini and Claude for some personal project research that I've been wanting to dig into (you can now ask me about Behavior Oriented Concurrency, I'm basically an expert).

The excellent

We went out a couple of times (on different days)

• A day at the beach

• Bowling

• Breakfast in a very traditional legit American diner

• Watched DVD movies from the local library

Rating: 4/5 I would do it again!
